Marlon, 

85 lpi is still fairly fine. Did you try setting it to something like 40 to see if the setting is making any difference? You should clearly see dots at that linescreen. If you're still not getting it, I would suspect something in the PPD/driver. 

Or perhaps even though you're using the PS driver, the PCL half of your printer is still printing. My laser is also PS/PCL, and I had to manually set it to default to PS on the printer's front panel. Merely printing with a PS driver wouldn't make it switch. 

Last thing I can think of, try making the lpi setting in the printer properties prior to printing in PM (via Start menu>Settings>Printers then right click the appropriate PS driver>Properties). There should be a place to set things like LPI, mirror, negative, etc. Make the setting there instead then try printing from PM, making sure you're selecting the same driver in PM. In theory this shouldn't be any different than making the setting from within PM's print dialog, but I'm otherwise out of ideas. 

Perhaps another user with the same printer will have another suggestion.
